By the end of this guide, you should have a good understanding of decimal to fraction conversions and be able to apply this knowledge to various mathematical problems. Let's begin.

0.11328 as a fraction equals 11328/100000 or 354/3125

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.11328 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.11328 as a fraction by placing it over 1:

0.11328/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.

0.11328 x 100000/1 x 100000

11328/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 11328 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 11328 are: 1 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 32 48 59 64 96 118 177 192 236 354 472 708 944 1416 1888 2832 3776 5664 11328
The factors of 100000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 32 40 50 80 100 125 160 200 250 400 500 625 800 1000 1250 2000 2500 3125 4000 5000 6250 10000 12500 20000 25000 50000 100000
The GCF of 11328 and 100000 is: 32

Step 4:

To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), which we calculated in the previous step. The GCF value is 32 in this case.

11328 ÷ 32/100000 ÷ 32

354/3125

Great Work! We've just determined that 0.11328 as a fraction equals 11328/100000 or 354/3125 in its simplest form.
